George Reginald Margetson

“ They branded him "the bard of women and of wine."
Of course I soak the booze once in a while.
But I don't wake the town to sing and shout it;
I love the girls, they win me with a smile.
But no one knows, for I won't write about it.
And so the fools may never think to doubt it,
When I declare I am a moral man.
As gifted, yet as good as God did ever plan.
Every man has got a hobby,
Every poet has some fault,
Every sweet contains its bitter,
Every fresh thing has its salt.
Every mountain has a valley,
Every valley has a hill,
Every ravine is a river. ”
